I believe that anyone who was not born into US citizenship should not be allowed to hold any office in the United States at all, not even city dog catcher. I'd go as far as saying they shouldn't be allowed to vote either, we should have a different tier of citizenship for foreign born people who become US citizens. As far as I'm concerned they should be forever grateful for being allowed to come here and if they don't like it they can leave. This would require constitutional amendment though i believe so it's unlikely to happen.
America created the modern representative republican form of government, hardly any foreigners truly understand what it means to be an American. They can come here, have children and raise their children as Americans then their children can be the ones who can vote and hold office if they want.
No. This is garbage thinking that got us bullshit like minimum sentencing and generalized rulings.
There are people who were born elsewhere that bleed red white and blue and should be given a chance to prove it. Our system as it reads is fine. The problem is the enforcement or rather lack thereof. We are a melting pot society. If you want isolationism, there are plenty of separatist colonies you can flock to.
Prejudice just all around needs to die. I don't agree with your idea and reject it completely. We aren't any one person's idea of a country. We're 320 million individual ideas. Limited influence is the answer. Not granting the government more power to regulate citizenship.
This line of thinking has turned us into The United States of Brazil. Draw a line in the sand already
Lol. How so?
If you are speaking as someone living in deep blue bullshit, you're worldview is greatly distorted. I live in deep red MAGA country that is incredibly diverse and everyone gets along fine. Those who don't well... we have a Second Amendment for that...
